crank up car, drive, floor it, car lunges forward but like no speed... feels like the car wants to move but isnt, takes like 15 mins before it kicks in and drives like crazy..it never did this before, started doing it about a month ago... any idea whats up with it? its kind of making me mad.

When car is acting up does easing off the throttle make things better? When you romp on the throttle does it just like bog down or does it start a series of little near stalls and recoveries (kind of like someone learning to drive a stick shift that cant get the clutch figured out).

Have you checked your transmission fluid lately (level, color/appearance, and smell)?

P.S. I'm not kidding about the smell thing .. if it smells burned that's significant.

changed all fluid, replaced oil filter, fuel filter, new K&N , it only does it for like the first 15 mins, u floor it and its like... errrrrerrrrrrerrrrerrrrrrrrrrrr and soon as it hits 2nd it starts to take off.

You didn't gap those plugs at .50 did ya?
